accidentally deleted map

[matura]

Good day. Today I did the cleaning in the Content Manager and I have committed the biggest mistake. I wanted to delete the mission. Unfortunately I accidently deleted the map.

Is there any chance to save the map or should I say goodbye to her? I worked on it more than a year and I do not want to accept the fact that all the work in the trash.:'(

Please help. It's a desperate situation.

Did you have a "Backup" copy or your "Local" file and other necessary files ?

Once you delete a main route (not a session), it is gone.

Not impossible that a utility like "Undelete" could recover it, but I am afraid it is more than likely dead.

Not backing up a 12 month project is lethal...

I have a backup, but so old that it is useless.

I am going to think about whether it is worth even start the map again. Only screenshots of the maps on the computer remained.

Thanks for the reply.

Before it does a Data repair, go to the Trainz folder, --
Trainz2010/ user data/ backups.
You will find it in there. Make sure you back it up this time.

I have a TS2009.

What is the Auran/TS2009/trash/ folder in the installation folder of the game?
Now I looked into it and I wonder what it is all about.

I use a backup software called Genie Timeline. It backs up your content while you work.

You can try it free for 30 days. If anyone is interested, it's available here: http://www.genie9.com/home/genie_timeline_home/buy.aspx

I've used it for over a year, and it's come to my rescue many times.

Thank you all guys for your help. I'm going to try the Genie Timeline.

If Trainz has not run a Data Repair and cleaned out all deleted files it will still be there, you just have to look for it.
I no longer have 09 installed but it is pretty similar to 2010, so have a root around.

I had this problem before. I was building the Metro North Railroad. The portion I built went from Grand Central- Yankee stadium. It looked so realistic with bits of the oak point yard in it too. After 6 months of building and editing, I lost it. I deleted it but about 2 weeks later, I searched something on the forums and found the easiest solution of retrieving a lost route. I had a backup copy though but that was just in it's very early stages and was pretty much vaporware so I started over. The next time you build a route, back it up to you Hard drive or external hard drive.
